I enjoyed Terry Manner’s piece on the Express discovery of Twiggy in 1966. Wonderful days for all of us old guys. I can bring the story forward by a year, to 1965.
Then on the night picture desk of the Daily Herald in Endell Street, London, I took a late night call from Justin Villeneuve. New model Lesley Hornby was being unveiled for the press in Carnaby Street the following morning early. Was I interested?
Too late to re-assign a precious staffer off a ‘proper’ story, I decided to go myself straight from the night shift. Just me and Stanley Meagher from the Express turned up. Nobody had heard of her then. She was a great sport. Here are the pics. Non got used!
